No insurance was carried on the large plate glass in the Blackburn building occupied by the Enterprise drug store, which was broken in some way yesterday morning or the night before. The hole is a small one at the bottom of the window at the north side. When the store was opened yesterday morning, the hole was discovered. How it was done, or by whom, is a mystery, though it seem to have been made by one sharp blow with a stone or head of a hatchet. The loss, however, will be small, only the lower edge is broken and a small margin can be cut off leaving the glass practically whole for a little smaller window. The blow did not shatter the glass, but only knocked out a practically smooth edged hole.
